A dream-team cast of current and former Soul Concern
members recently returned from a 10-day mission trip to the West Coast. The
group was comprised of Price Fowler, Luke Hawley, Matt Harwell, Matthew Miller,
A Thao, Steve Detlefs, and John T. Langley. Admissions recruiter Brien Alley
also traveled with the group.

Soul Concern had done a spring break trip to the West Coast
several times in previous years, but this year went instead to Florida during
that time slot. The groups that normally see them in California, Oregon, and
Washington on Spring Break extended the invitation for them to come at a
later
date, and Fowler, the Soul Concern sponsor, said yes to the summertime tour. “We
got so many requests to come out there, I just felt it was something the group
really ought to do,” said Fowler.

The members of Soul Concern raised the money for the trip
themselves. They estimate that they performed for and ministered to almost 1,000
young people in their audiences over the course of the trip.
